f0rest: MVP medal for my whole team

We presented Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg with the MVP by ZOWIE medal and interviewed him about the triumph at IEM Oakland.

With a narrow victory over SK, winning Cache and Cobblestone in 16-14 scorelines after trailing 0-1 in the series, Ninjas in Pyjamas triumphed at IEM Oakland and took their second title in the past three months.

In the following winning interview, we presented Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg with the HLTV MVP by ZOWIE medal and talked about the grand final's maps:

every kid is doing that yes, and like any other first comment hunter they get removed why do you feel that you NEED to get your comment at the top? if your comment is worth reading people will see it while scrolling through and reply accordingly, if you need to try get the first comment in order to feel important i feel bad for you

Yes it was worth reading, don't care if my comment was 1st or 100th but i'm talking about how broken HLTV/HLTV rules are. I did write a pretty long edited text but probably admin didn't refresh the page and my 4-5 line comment got deleted. I didn't 1st comm hunt, just wrote 1st comment when i wasn't even planning that/didn't even want to. also read #122, i said that i only cared because news were about NiP. if it was a post about some other team like SK i wouldn't even write comment/visit news lol.

that's the definition of "1st comment hunting". first write something short, then edit it. your purpose was not to comment the news, but rather get the first comment -_- lame

80% of HLTV hunts 1st comment, then reads. Everyone writes short text, then edits it. then reads news. that's what i did, exactly what a did!

They are cracking down on it as first comment hunting, which is absolutely fine. If you don't want your comment deleted, don't write "1" or a single letter. I have no idea why that particular guy's comment didn't get deleted.

It's so difficult to hate on this man: f0rest. He is truly a genuine guy, mad respect to him! "I'm gonna split that medal in 5 pieces, MVP medal for my whole team" - f0rest

f0rest my boy! great performance that was a nice match, ggwp and im really happy for pyth. i was thinkin that he isnt good and maikelele is better fit, but in dis tournament pyth shows that he is a real beast and he looks like a nice guy, little bit strange, but really nice and cool, i like him :) =(^_^)=

He is such an amazing player.. I wonder why he is so much better than everyone else, it was the same thing while he playing 1,6. Always a god when playing, making it so much harder for other teams to win. Like where the fuck is italian cs??
